Yellowstone Falls from old negatives
Jun 15, 2014 03:45:44 #
Recently had some 30+ year old negatives scanned for old times sake.
Here are two I was working on tonight. First one I did levels saturation and contrast, the second one was quite soft, so rather than over-sharpen I went the other way and put a light glow filter on it.

Very nice.
We have hundreds of slides of Yellowstone that we are going to get scanned one of these days...

Thank you, MtnMan, it was on of the highlights of our life.
Not sure we will make it back again, but at least we have the memories and lots of pictures, even though they are negs and slides.

We live in Idaho so still try to get to Yellowstone at least a couple of times a year. Alas, like the other popular US National Parks, it has been discovered by the rest of world. We used to have it pretty much to ourselves in early spring and September. Now its hare to find someone that speaks English even at those times.
It remains true that if you get 1/4 mile off the road it is still pretty wild.
So we're heading over to your part of the country in a week for a couple of weeks: Rainer and ONP. Our son lives in the tri-cities so we'll visit him first on our way.

You will love it here!
Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens are all beautiful if the weather co-operates, but even if it cool and cloudy, the beaches in the ONP make are great subjects and try to make it to Hoh Rainforest on a cloudy, drizzly day. It's well worth it.

We've never been to the west side of ONP so look forward to it. The Hoh is the top of the list.
We've been to Rainier many times and love it. We lived in the tri-cities for three years and went there often, and skied at White Pass many times. We've been to Hurricane Ridge in ONP and fished out of Neah Bay, but never went down the coast from there.
Now with our up town camera gear we look forward to capturing pictures we could never do before.

Very nice shots. Did you convert the slides yourself? Thanks Pat
I sent a few hundred negs and slides to Scan Cafe for conversion.
They did an ok job, some better than others.
I did some extra work on these.

These are EXACTLY as I saw the falls in my youth.
I have some old pictures but nothing like these for color
May I print copies to put on my wall.
I am blown away by how close the coloring is to Thomas Moran's paintings.
Thank you so much for posting these. I hope you will be able to show more.

Thank you so much for your nice words.
I had to look up Thomas Moran and I feel very flattered.
We were just lucky with the lighting.
PM me and we can discuss how you can get a print from a higher resolution than I posted here.
